Hi rocca92,
For help with the Mac login password, test the information below found in the article here: If you forgot your Mac login password
"Make sure that you're at the login window
The login window appears after you turn on, restart, or log out of your Mac. It's not the same as the window you might see when waking your Mac from sleep or stopping the screen saver, though it uses the same password.
- If you see Shut Down, Restart, and Sleep buttons, you're at the login window.
- If you see a Switch User button, click it to switch to the login window.
- If you see different buttons or no buttons, restart your Mac or press and hold its power button for up to 10 seconds, until it turns off. When your Mac restarts or turns on, it starts up to the login window."
After completing the above and entering any password three time, follow the remaining steps to attempt and reset your login password.
If the issue remain, complete the steps here: If you can't reset your Mac login password
Cheers.
